At the time of Owen's plenary meeting, on a plain south of the kingdom, White Wells' army was once again engaged in battle with the army of his second sister, Trist Wells.In this battle, White's army threw in a completely new weapon.This led to the tragic death of Orlando Connie, the eldest son of Duke Connie, Lord of Lionroar, Trist's betrothed betrothed to the battlefield.After his defeat, Duke Connie fled back to Lionroar with the remnants of his army.Lion's Roar, the office in the castle."
Her Majesty!"
A servant hurried in, "Lord Duke Connie is back." ”Trist has long been independent king in the South, claiming to be the queen of the Moonlight Kingdom, but White does not agree with the independence of the South.At this moment, she is sitting at her desk, with long silver hair and a pair of cold purple eyes that are in the royal line, and a tear mole under her left eye."
How's the battle going?"
Trist asked, looking up."
The ......" hesitated for a moment, and the servant replied cautiously: "Lord Duke Connie has been wounded, and it is said that the army sent out has been crushed. ”"Defeated?"
Hearing this, Trist couldn't help frowning.That's impossible!
The troops sent out were stationed on the Great Wall of the Border, and they often fought against the subhuman races in the barren area, and they had rich combat experience, so even if they were defeated for a while, they would not be able to collapse the army.What the hell is going on?
Whether it was Duke Conney's miscommand, or White's ruse, or the unpredictable new elements on the battlefield."
Where is Duke Connie now?
Take me there. ”It was useless to continue guessing, and Trist decided to go to Duke Connie to ask about the details of the battle.In the barracks north of Lionroar, Trist meets the wounded Duke Connie.A high-ranking priest is performing a healing spell to treat the wound on Duke Connie's right arm.Seeing Trist, Duke Connie said with a sad face: "Your Majesty, my son Orlando is ......
Died heroically. ”"What?!"
Hearing this, Trist pretended to be surprised, and then put her hand on her chest, pretending to be sad."
My fiancé......
Even before getting married......
Oh!
I am now deeply saddened. ”In fact, Trist's engagement to Orlando was a political marriage, and she had no feelings for Duke Connie's eldest son.It's just that Duke Connie is the nobleman with the largest sphere of influence in the South, and Trist still needs to use him, so she pretends to be in love with Orlando.In fact, these two people have never even gone to bed."
Damn!"
Duke Connie raised his uninjured left hand to wipe the tears from the corners of his eyes, "Damn White Wells, you can never forgive me for taking my son's life!"
”His left hand was clenched into a fist, and he was now angry with him, eager to fight again."
My brother really deserves to die."
Trist chimed in.Immediately afterwards, she asked suspiciously: "I wonder if Duke Connie can tell me about the battle situation at that time?"
I wonder why this battle was lost, and my fiancé died on the battlefield. ”"The tide of war is changing so fast, I remember ......," Duke Connie said slowly, trying to recall the battle.At the beginning of the battle, White's army did not rush to attack as before, but passively defended, fighting and retreating.Duke Connie thought that the morale of the other party had long been lost, so he gathered a group of knights, called Orlando by the way, and planned to personally lead the knights to launch a charge and completely defeat them.In this way, the independence of the southern territory will become an established fact, and there will be an additional country in the world called the Moonlight Kingdom.Seeing this, the other side sent a very strange force, more than thirty people stood in a row, holding a short stick in their hands.Duke Connie also noticed the strange force, and couldn't help but wonder if the commander on the opposite side had a problem with his brain, and actually tried to use such a thin line of defense and such a short weapon against the charging knight.With a hint of sin on his face, he ordered all the knights to continue charging and crushing each other.As a result, there was a series of loud noises ahead, and Duke Connie and the knights he led were instantly blinded.The two sides had obviously not yet made contact, but the knights at the front fell one after another, including Orlando, who rushed to the front on a whim.From that moment on, the balance of victory in the war quickly tipped over to White's side.What's even more terrifying is that a group of people who can explode are also sent on the opposite side.They were draped in thick equipment that they could not take off, their hands were tied, and they were crying out for help as they rushed towards Duke Conny's army.These people will suddenly explode on the battlefield, killing them along with nearby soldiers or mercenaries.Every time it exploded, it was like a bright red blood flower blooming on the ground.Even if they were killed, it would not be long before they would explode, and fear spread rapidly among Duke Connie's army, and many soldiers and mercenaries chose to flee, and the battle was quickly lost.Under the desperate protection of the remaining knights, Duke Connie was lucky enough to escape from the battlefield and escaped."
What the hell is that short stick?
I hadn't heard of it before, I had never heard of it before. ”Pounding the table, Duke Connie said with a look of indignation: "And those who can explode, what are they wearing on their bodies?"
”"Short sticks?
Someone who will explode?
”After listening to Duke Conny's story, Trist fell into deep thought.There is no doubt that a new factor has emerged that can affect the war, but what is it?
It's so powerful.Just then, Trist remembered a piece of news she had learned from the merchant.On the eastern side of the kingdom, the small frontier town defeated the seemingly invincible army of the Dongsheng Fortress, and its soldiers are said to be armed with short clubs.It seems that White has probably obtained something from the Frontier Town, and it is necessary to send someone to investigate.A few days later, a scout hurried back to report that White's army had reorganized and continued south, presumably intending to launch a second siege of Lionroar.Deeply disturbed by this news, Trist went to Duke Connie to persuade him to abandon Lion's Roar and retreat to Bibo County.Winter is just over a month away, and the two sides will enter a truce, taking the opportunity to rebuild their strength and retake Lionroar next spring.But he didn't think that Duke Connie was determined to stay and prepare for war because of the pain of losing his son, and fought a protracted battle to defend the city with White's army.With no choice, Trist had no choice but to gather the nobles who were willing to evacuate with her, and sailed away from Lion's Roar City overnight on a few warships, heading down the Ulshui River towards Bibo County to the east.Duke Connie turned a blind eye to this and continued to gather troops and prepare for war.Two days later, White's army appeared north of the Lion's Roar, slowly approaching the northern walls.Coming to a stop at the right distance, the mages accompanying the White army chanted incantations in unison, ready to cast a large attack spell.Seeing this, Duke Connie also ordered the magician group on the city wall to cast a large defensive magic, and a layer of magic shield soon appeared in the air, covering the top of the northern city wall.However, the large-scale magic on the opposite side did not take down for a long time, but sent soldiers to push more than a dozen carts towards the city gate quickly.Each cart was accompanied by two shield-wielding soldiers, with three large barrels and a puff of green smoke."
Archers, shoot them quickly!"
Duke Connie hurriedly ordered.Whoosh - Countless arrows shot out of the walls and fell downward.The shield-wielding soldier quickly raised the shield in his hand to block most of the arrows, and continued to push the cart forward.In the end, six carts were successfully delivered to the city gates, and the soldiers pushed hard, turned and ran away without hesitation.What are they going to do?
What is a barrel on a cart?
Just as Duke Connie was wondering, a huge explosion resounded in the sky, accompanied by firelight and a large amount of black smoke rising, and the city walls also shook violently.Affected by this, many soldiers on the city wall did not stand firm and fell to the ground.The soldiers who had worked so hard to send the cart over were all killed.The smoke gradually cleared, and the north gate of Lion's Roar City was blown open.Seeing this scene, White, who was riding a horse in the army, grinned and raised his hand with a wave."
All the troops are on the move!"
In this battle, the mercenaries were the most active, because they could enter the city and loot, the money could be taken as they pleased, and the women could also play as they pleased.The moment the gates were blown open, Duke Connie failed to defend the city, and his final fate was to be captured alive, and after White's trial, he was escorted to the royal capital for public execution.This lord is backed by a tech tycoon
